DS6's verbal IQ is 150 and he reads easily at a 5th grade level (hard to completely know). He is at a Title 1 school where expectations are pretty low. I am having a hard time knowing if his penmanship and writing are okay, considering his other skills. This is NOT his handwriting, but his penmanship looks much like these samples (word choice/sentence construction is better):

He still mixes in the occasional uppercase where he should be using lowercase, too. His spelling is very good and his sentence construction and punctuation use are good, but he does not choose to write more than a few sentences at a time.
Is this within the range of appropriate for a very bright male child with high literacy or should I wonder? DD was knocking it out of the park for writing at this age, so I can't compare.
